If you haven’t been to Frankfurt yet, you’re missing out. It's best known for its high-quality sausages (don't leave without trying them!), but there's lots more to it too. There are absolutely tons to see and do in this flourishing city (one of the biggest in Germany), from the medieval old town to the gothic ‘cathedral’ and the lovely Römerberg square. There’s also a whole host of great restaurants, and if you like a drink, track down an apple wine tavern. But after all this fun, sounds like you might need a cosy place to rest your head, right? Thankfully for you, Airbnb has it all, whether you’re travelling with pals, the whole family, or on a romantic getaway.

This modern and bright spot is bound to give you the mood boost you need. That's because there are pretty plants dotted all around. It also features a well decorated bedroom and shiny wood flooring. If you ever need a spot of fresh air, you've got a lovely terrace garden overlooking Frankfurt. Plus, there is a full HD TV for all your Netflix needs, a garden and a coffee machine for a tasty morning latte. You can also look forward to a fridge full of food the owner (according to reviews) doesn't mind you helping yourself to!

The mood? 
A chic and practical urban space with some cosy flourishes.
Location perks? 
Close to the landmark ECB, visitors will get a taste of Frankfurt’s industrial past and contemporary identity.

Bit pricier but you’re in a great location.  
Time Out tip: Book dinner at Oosten, near the old crane for striking city views.

2. Edgy one-bedroom apartment in the centre

Apartments in Frankfurt can be – it’s fair to say – a little same-y. This one, however, has been given some extra va-va-vroom thanks to a few stylish twists, like the exposed brickwork in the living room and the sexy monochrome kitchen area. Our favourite addition is the working telescope which can be used for stargazing (and umm… definitely NO spying on the neighbours, OK?!).

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps three guests.
The mood? 
Bachelor pad-ish vibes made a little cosier.
Location perks? 
In a trendy part of town, with some really good eateries nearby.
Budget range? 
Pay a little more for a cool location and great décor.
Time Out tip: Schedule in movie night at one of the three (!) local indie cinemas.

With fully equipped kitchenettes and ample desk space, the rooms in this apartment hotel are perfect if you're in town on business but also plan to do a little exploring. Located in the south of the city, it offers a nice combination of hotel-appropriate comforts while also creating a nice, private vibe within the rooms themselves.

Rooms? One bedrooms. Sleeps two guests.
The mood? 
A fresh-feeling WFH hotel designed to run like clockwork.
Location perks? 
Super close to the Südbahnhof.
Budget range? 
A good, solid price – but be aware it’s only for longer-stay bookings.
Time Out tip: If you’re feeling lonely, the hotel has a ‘living room’ where guests can come and socialise.

4. The idyllic green home

Located in the south bit of the city’s Westend, this quirkily decorated apartment is perfect for a short weekend break in Frankfurt. We love the retro styling of the place and the palm-print wallpaper. A large window keeps the room feeling light and has nice views of a little garden area. There’s no kitchen area provided, but the host has kindly provided an espresso machine and a kettle for all your caffeine addict needs. Plus, you won’t have any trouble accessing restaurants and cafes when hunger calls.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two guests.
The mood? 
Retro colour schemes and bold prints make this place a whole lot of fun.
Location perks? 
Right in the centre with the Old Opera House just a stroll away.
Budget range? 
Plenty left over to spend during your stay.
Time Out tip: Head out to the palm garden for some real-life (not wallpaper) greenery.

5. The tranquil summer residence

Willkommen to your new favourite bolt-hole. It’s a neat one-bed with a comfy lounge, a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of natural light. Made from natural stone and sporting a traditional wooden fireplace that’s great for cooler evenings, grab your cosiest blanket and settle in.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two guests.
The mood? 
Like living in a cute and quirky doll’s house.
Location perks? 
Get some headspace in the tranquil greenery surrounding the tiny house.

A sweet price for a sweet place.

6. Black-and-white ground floor apartment

There’s something immediately relaxing about this neatly designed city apartment. It’s simply but effectively decorated in a way that feels just a tiny bit feminine, despite the bold use of geometric lines and a black-and-white colour palette. It’s got everything you’d need for a short break in town, including a small kitchen area and a nice sofa space for morning coffee.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two guests.
The mood?
Minimalistic domesticity with spa-like energy.
Location perks? 
Great location for getting to know the Ostend and the centre.
Budget range? 
No regrets for such a nicely done-up place.
Time Out tip: Don’t forget to visit the zoo! It’s walkable from this flat.

7. The ultra modern spot for two

This super swanky space for two is the kind of place you want to take your shoes off as soon as you enter - it’s that clean and sparkling. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom and walk-in wardrobe, as well as a balcony for ultimate chilling time. Just down the road, there’s cute restaurants, a bakery and a pizzeria. Think this sounds dreamy? Us too. 

Rooms? One bedroom. Two guests.
The mood? 
A millennial-style conversion that will look splendid on your Insta feed.
Location perks? 
You’ll be outside of Frankfurt (20mins by car) enjoying the quietude of Dreieich.
Budget range? 
A very pleasing price.
Time Out tip: Consider exploring the area outside of Frankfurt more widely, including the zoo in Darmstadt, for example.
